[Presidency | Rwanda @UrugwiroVillage]

“Confronting historical responsibilities requires real courage, because it generates fierce opposition by those with a case to answer. You need a strong sense of humanity to see it through. President Macron, I want to commend you on both counts: courage and humanity.

You acknowledged that France could have stopped the genocide, but did not. In response, I described your words as something more valuable than an apology: namely, the truth. This door was first opened by President Nicolas Sarkozy, and I wish to commend him today.

The Genocide against the Tutsi was foreseeable, and in fact foreseen, and France was in a unique position to observe and to act. It took too long for France to come to terms with its role, causing additional pain. And on some points, we still have not found consensus. I fully understand the feelings of those survivors and advocates, who remain dissatisfied with the official record. But I believe that our common work has initiated a journey towards truth, which is irreversible.

And France was not alone in falling short, far from it. Many other countries did so as well, but none has gone as far as France in setting the record straight and accepting its part in the tragedy.” President Kagame | Inauguration of Monument in Paris honouring the victims of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

Ce mémorial en hommage aux victimes du génocide perpétré contre les Tutsi au Rwanda est un lieu vivant. Il cultive la mémoire et projette vers l'avenir la relation entre le Rwanda et la France.

À nous de transmettre avec rigueur, dignité, vérité et justice.

[Paul Kagame @PaulKagame]

Thank you to my sister President @SuluhuSamia for the warm welcome to Tanzania and for the productive discussions.

Rwanda and Tanzania are not only neighbors but brotherly countries bound by history and a shared goal of prosperity for our people. Rwanda remains committed to building on this strong foundation by deepening our bilateral cooperation across trade, investment, infrastructure, logistics, energy, and regional integration.

I look forward to continuing our collaboration to achieve tangible results for our citizens and advance the East African Community.

[Brave Etienne @KwizeraEtiennee]

“I am going to speak about the West, and not only about Trump.
I think the West has taken things for granted; they believe that they know everything, own everything, can decide in everything, and the others —those who are not from the West—do not matter and simply have to fall in line.”

Rwanda's President @PaulKagame said this during the 18th world governance Edition 2026 held from France on 24 April 2026.

Sometimes, I ask myself if these westerners take time and listen 👂 such impressive speeches of our Pan_Africanists.

32nd Commemoration of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda (Kwibuka32).

On the 32nd anniversary of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda (#Kwibuka32), the Department of Political Affairs, Peace and Security of the African Union (AU) Commission in collaboration with the Embassy of the Republic of Rwanda in Ethiopia and Permanent Mission to the AU, will commemorate the1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, under the theme: “Remember-Unite- Renew”, on 7 April 2026, at the African Union Headquarters, in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

The annual commemoration aims to continuously awaken greater awareness of the African people and the international community about the value of life and humanity and to renew collective commitment to protect and uphold fundamental human rights. Mostly, the event will provide an opportunity to remember the atrocities brought by the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi in Rwanda; unite together in our fight against genocide, its ideology, hate speech and other crimes against humanity; and to renew our resolve to ensure that Genocide does not happen ever again.

Representatives from the AU Member States, the AU Commission, Members of the Diplomatic Corps accredited to the AU, AU Organs, Religious Institutions, Human Rights Institutions, Intergovernmental and Civil Society Organizations, UN Agencies, Think Tanks, International Organizations, Academic Institutions in Ethiopia, as well as, representatives of the media will attend the event, which will be marked by a series of activities, such as, the 32nd Commemoration of the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, which will also include Walk to Remember, lighting of the Flame of Remembrance, launch of the AU Human Rights Virtual Memorial: introduction of the component of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tusti in Rwanda and messages of reflection from AU officials and invited guests, among others.

The AU has been commemorating this catastrophic event since 07 April 2010. This year marks the 32nd commemoration of those dark days, an important occasion to remember the lives lost, show solidarity with survivors and unite to ensure it never happens again – in Rwanda or elsewhere in Africa and beyond. It is also a chance to learn about Rwanda’s story of reconciliation, conflict resolution mechanisms, nation building and home grown solutions.

We must learn from past failures & protect the living — by rejecting hatred, inflammatory rhetoric & incitement to violence.

[Peter H. Diamandis, MD @PeterDiamandis]

In 2016, a woman in rural Rwanda was hemorrhaging during childbirth. A hospital texted for blood. Minutes later, a Zipline drone launched. 10 minutes after that, it parachuted type O negative to the landing zone. The mother and baby both survived. That system now supplies 75% of Rwanda's blood and has cut maternal mortality by 51%.
